 	      <h2><font color="#990000">Cutting edge features</font></h2>
 	      
 	      <p>FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security
 		and compatibility 
 		<a href="{$base}/features.html">features</a>
 		today which are still missing in other operating systems,
 		even some of the best commercial ones.</p>
 	      
 	      <h2><font color="#990000">Powerful Internet solutions</font></h2>
 	      
 	      <p>FreeBSD makes an ideal 
 		<a href="{$base}/internet.html">Internet or Intranet</a> 
 		server. It provides robust network services under the heaviest
 		loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response
 		times for thousands of simultaneous user processes. Visit our
 		<a href="gallery/gallery.html">gallery</a> for examples of
 		FreeBSD powered applications and services.</p>
 	    
 	      <h2><font color="#990000">Run a huge number of
 		  applications</font></h2>
 	    
 	      <p>The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost,
 		high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical
 		alternative to commercial UNIX workstations.  It is well-suited
 		for a great number of both desktop and server 
 		<a href="{$base}/applications.html">applications</a>.</p>
 	    
 	      <h2><font color="#990000">Easy to install</font></h2>
 	    
 	      <p>FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including
 		CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if
 		you have a network connection, you can install it
 		<i>directly</i> over anonymous FTP or NFS. All you need is a 
 		pair of blank, 1.44MB floppies and 
 		<a href="{$base}/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html">these 
 		  directions</a>.</p>
 
 	      <h2><font color="#990000">FreeBSD is <i>free</i></font></h2>

 						   align="right" 
 						   border="0"/></a>
 	      
 	      <p>While you might expect an operating system with these 
 		features to sell for a high price, FreeBSD is available 
 		<a href="{$base}/copyright/index.html">free of charge</a>
 		and comes with full source code. If you would like to try it
 		out, 
 		<a href="{$base}/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors.html">more 
 		  information is available</a>.</p>
 	      
 	      <h2><font color="#990000">Contributing to FreeBSD</font></h2>
 	      
 	      <p>It is easy to contribute to FreeBSD. All you need to do
 		is find a part of FreeBSD which you think could be
 		improved and make those changes (carefully and cleanly)
 		and submit that back to the Project by means of send-pr
 		or a committer, if you know one.  This could be anything
 		from documentation to artwork to source code. See the 
 		<a href="{$base}/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/contributing/index.html">Contributing
 		to FreeBSD</a> article for more information.</p>
 
 		<p>Even if you're not a programmer, there are other ways to
  		contribute to FreeBSD. The FreeBSD Foundation is a
 		non-profit organization for which direct contributions
 		are fully tax deductible.  Please contact

 		<p>Silicon Breeze has also sculpted and cast the BSD Daemon
 		in metal and is now donating 15% of all proceeds from
 		these statuettes back to the FreeBSD Foundation. The complete
